The project will supply water to an estimated 42,000 residents of towns and villages in Samayil, Bid Bid and Fanja. In later phases, the water scheme will be expanded to include the wilayats of Izki, Nizwa, Bahla, Manah and Al Hamra. In all, the project will benefit 462,000 people over its 25-year time frame.

The contractor will build tanker filling points for the benefit of outlying communities.
Al Matar will also construct a ground reservoir of 11.2 million-litre capacity at Al Khoudh. This reservoir will be fed by the Barka desalination plant, which is being developed by AES Barka, a joint venture between the US' AES Corp and the local Multitech. A number of overhead reservoirs will also be constructed along the route of the water supply.
The network is due to begin supplying water in the fourth quarter of next year.
